In short this is why we should leave history to the historians and political comentary to people like Mr. Martin. However, he may have a point (though I doubt he knows it) when it comes to the guerrilla war in KS and MO. Terrorizing civilians (as opposed to the military industry) to sway political opinion was clearly part of standard procedures for both sides in those areas as it was in the occupied south right after the war. Just food for thought from a devils advocate...
